Crowdstrike is not just "Antivirus" capability.

Depending on the threats pertinent to the org they may require deep observability and the ability to perform threat hunting for new and emerging threats, or detect behaviour based signals, or move to block a new emerging threat. Not all threats require Administrator privileges!

Not installing AV might be fine for a small number of assets in a low risk industry, but is bad advice for a larger more complex environment.

If were unbiased here the apparent crowdstrike problem could occur on any OS and with any vendor where you have updates or configuration changes automatically deployed at scale.
